Arbetet på den andra säsongen av Invincible pågår för fullt och det har även länge ryktats om en potentiell live-action-film baserad på serien, ett rykte som regissören Robert Kirkman kommenterade på under en intervju nyligen med Variety och sa:
"Still in the script development stage. I think once we get the script to where it needs to be, I think we'll be in a good place, and can move fairly quickly after that. But all of the factors that I just discussed are things that we're thinking about: How does this feel new?
"How is this going to feel like something that's special? Those are very tall orders. We also need to find a way to play off the animated series, but also differentiate ourselves and give the movie a reason for existing. There's a lot of work that needs to be done. But we're hopeful."
Under intervjun pratades det även en del om hur genren verkar ha minskat i popularitet på biograferna. Något som Kirkman hade följande att säga om:
"From my perspective — which I admit, probably wrong! — is that I don't get that sense of newness anymore from these movies. For the first 10 years, it was like, Oh my gosh, we're getting everything we loved about action movies, but instead of watching Bruce Willis climb through ventilation duct, we're watching a guy punch a planet"
"It was taking the magic of superhero comics that had existed for decades, and authentically translating it into film in a way that had never really been achieved before. Now that we're, you know, 100 movies deep, it's hard to tell an audience, 'You're going to get a new experience out of this.'"
Kirkman kommenterade också på vad som gjort just Invincible så unik jämfört med andra superhjältar och sa:
"Hopefully, it's arriving at the exact right time. Invincible came around in comics when superhero-literate people knew exactly how superhero stories go. Invincible's main goal was to say, 'You think you know what superheroes do?' And the comic became very popular because of that."
"And so Invincible is coming at a time when the general audience is extremely superhero literate. So hopefully [we can re-create] the same thing that happened in comics, where people who had been reading Marvel and DC comics for years were like, 'Wait, 'Invincible' makes me feel like when I first started reading comics.'"
